Microsoft to Port Solitaire to Linux? from the bill-admits-linux-exists dept. CmdrBurrito, Dotslash.org, July 26, 1998 Mr. X writes, "I've just heard a rumor that Microsoft plans to port versions of Solitaire, FreeCell, and MineSweeper to Linux. They would be available from the MS website. I don't know about you, but I'm worried about this development. Millions of Windoze users waste several hours a day playing Solitaire. If this were to spread to Linux... ugh, new kernel and software releases would never happen because all the developers would be trying to beat Solitaire. I guess this explains why MS software is always late and half-baked." 1,232 comments...
